About Yourself:
I'm a college student currently studying mechanical engineering. I decided it would be a good idea to get me and my girlfriend a fish tank to make our apartment seem more "homie". After a couple months we began to get more interested in fish so we have slowly been upgrading and furthering our understanding of these little guys.

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
